Docket No. 2002-0185-WR. Consideration of a joint motion and agreed order
requested by the City of Dallas, Park Cities Municipal Utility District, City of
Grapevine,and the Executive Director. The agreed order would amend the City of
Dallas' Permit No. 5414 which authorizes diversion of 40,000 acre feet of water from
the Elm Fork in the Trinity River in Dallas County, Certificate of Adjudication No.

Grapevine, the City of Grapevine's Certificate of Adjudication No. 08-2362 which

RULE MATTERS

Item 14.

Docket No. 2002-0001-RUL. Consideration for publication of, and hearing on, the
following proposed amended and new sections of 30 TAC Chapter 5, Advisory
Committees; and Chapter 20, Rulemaking: Amended: Section 5.1, Purpose; Section
5.2, Definitions; Section 5.3, Creation and Duration of Advisory Committees; Section
5.4, Purpose and Duties of Advisory Committees; Section 5.5, Composition of
Advisory Committees; Section 5.7, Membership; Section 5.10, Presiding Officer;
Section 5.14, Records; Section 20.19, Working Groups. New: Section 5.20,
Definitions; Section 5.21, Duration of Advisory Groups; Section 5.22, Purpose and
Duties of Advisory Groups; Section 5.23, Composition of Advisory Groups; Section
5.24, Membership; Section 5.25, Attendance; Section 5.26, Manner of Reporting;
Section 5.27, Meetings; Section 5.28, Commission Monitoring and Records. These
proposed revisions to Chapter 5 and Chapter 20 implement House Bill (HB) 2912,
77th Legislature, 2001, Section 1.10, which amended Texas Water Code, Subchapter
D, Chapter 5, Section 5.107, relating to Advisory Councils; and HB 2914, 77th
Legislature, 2001, Sections 45 - 52, which amended Texas Government Code, Chapter
2110, relating to State Agency Advisory Committees. Chapter 5 would change the
title of the chapter from Advisory Committees to Advisory Committees and Groups to
cover advisory committees, work groups, task forces, stakeholder groups, and groups
of other designations frequently used by the agency and would require the agency to
make reasonable attempts to have balanced representation; monitor the composition
and activities; and maintain information in a form and location that is easily accessible
to the public, including making the information available on the commission's website.
In addition, Chapter 5 would specify that an advisory committee created by the
commission shall be automatically abolished in accordance with Texas Government
Code, Section 2110.008(b), which provides that unless the state agency, by rule,
designates a different date on which the committee will be automatically abolished,
the committee is automatically abolished on the later of September 1, 2005, or the
fourth anniversary of the date of its creation. Revisions to Chapter 20 would change
the title of Section 20.19 from Working Groups to Working Committees and Groups
and would add a sentence to require that selection and appointment of any working
groups or persons to advise the commission on rulemaking adhere to the process
established under Chapter 5. (Debra Barber, Hector Mendieta, Terri Seales) (Rule
Log No. 2001-068-005-AD)

The proposed amendment to Chapter 330 would address the requirements in House
Bill 2912, Article 9, Sections 9.03 and 9.04, and Article 17, Section 17.01, 77th
Legislature, 2001. Section 9.03 requires the commission to ensure solid waste
processing facilities are regulated as solid waste facilities and are not allowed to
operate unregulated as recycling facilities. Section 9.04 requires any municipal solid
waste landfill that has either stopped accepting waste, or only accepted waste due to
an emergency authorization, for a period of five years or longer, to obtain a permit
amendment before it can be reopened to accept waste again. Section 17.01 allows
veterinarians to dispose of animal remains by burial and/or burning under limited
circumstances. (Michael Bame, Todd Galiga, Wayne Lee) (Rule Log No.
2001-082-330-WS)

These proposed revisions to Chapters 213 and 331 implement Senate Bill 2, Section
11.03, 77th Legislature, 2001, by prohibiting the authorization by the commission of
any injection well that transects or terminates in the Edwards Aquifer, except for
injection of groundwater withdrawn from the Edwards Aquifer or injection of storm
water, groundwater, or flood water through improved sinkholes or caves located in
karst topographic formations. (Joseph Thomas) (Rule Log No. 2001-093-331-WS)

Remanded to Executive Director

Item 17.

Docket No. 2001-1416-RUL. Consideration for publication of, and hearing on, the
following proposed new and amended sections of 30 TAC Chapter 285, On-Site
Sewage Facilities: Amended Sections 285.10, Delegation to Authorized Agents;
285.12, Review of Locally Administered Programs; and 285.33, Criteria for Effluent
Disposal Systems; and New Sections 285.13, Revocation of Authorized Agent
Delegation; and 285.14, Charge-back Fee. These proposed new and amended sections
would incorporate the charge-back fee provisions from House Bill 2912, §3.09, 77th
Legislature, 2001; would more clearly define the process the executive director would
have to follow when reviewing and revoking an authorized agent's delegated
authority; and would add language to the rule that allows tire chips up to three inches
as measured at their greatest dimension to be used as media in standard absorptive
drainfields. (Kathy Ramirez, Warren Samuelson, Kathy Brown) (Rule Log No.
2001-101-285-WT)

Approve Publication and Hearing, RH/RM. All Agree

Item 18.

Docket No. 2001-1281-RUL. Consideration for adoption of amended Sections
101.302 and 101.372, and new Sections 101.338 and 101.357 in 30 TAC Chapter
101, General Air Quality Rules, and corresponding revisions to the state
implementation plan (SIP).

The new adopted Section 101.357 would apply in the Houston/Galveston and the
Dallas/Fort Worth ozone nonattainment areas to allow substitution of nitrogen oxides
emissions reductions accomplished under the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan for
reductions otherwise required under the rules of the commission and the SIP. New
Section 101.338 and amended Sections 101.302 and 101.372 would allow substitution
of emission reductions of criteria pollutants accomplished outside the United States
for reductions of such pollutants within Texas if the executive director and the United
States Environmental Protection Agency determine that the substitution will result in
greater overall air quality benefit to the area. The proposed rules were published in
the November 23, 2001 issue of the Texas Register (26 TexReg 9513).

Subchapter H Definitions

The adopted Chapter 334 rule amendments address the requirements of House Bill
(HB) 2687 and duplicative provisions in TNRCC Sunset legislation in HB 2912,
Article 14, 77th Legislature, 2001. These statutory provisions cover several areas that
require rulemaking: the definition of a tank owner in the petroleum storage tank
program was clarified; the scope of compliance self-certification was prospectively
narrowed to exclude tanks containing regulated substances that are not motor fuels;
specific deadlines were attached to the existing general obligations that tank owners
and operators have to perform corrective action activities at leaking petroleum storage
tank sites (LPST), with loss of reimbursement eligibility stemming from missed
deadlines that are the fault of the tank owner or operator (or their agents, etc.); the
long-standing legal fact that a person's liability to perform corrective action at LPST
sites is unrelated to any possible reimbursements that person may be eligible for was
reiterated and emphasized in new statutory provisions; and the Petroleum Storage
Tank Reimbursement (PSTR) Account was extended through September 1, 2006, and
new deadlines were created concerning applications for reimbursement from that
account. Limited regulatory reform, which includes correcting typographical errors
and clarifying affected public notification, is also a component in this rulemaking
package. The proposed rules were published in the November 9, 2001 issue of the
Texas Register (26 TexReg 9034). (Michael Bame,Walt Ehresman, Anton Rozsypal)

Use of Emissions Reductions Generated from the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan
(TERP) in 30 TAC Chapter 117, Control of Air Pollution from Nitrogen Compounds,
and corresponding revisions to the state implementation plan (SIP).

The new adopted section would apply in the Houston/Galveston and the Dallas/Fort
Worth ozone nonattainment areas to allow substitution of nitrogen oxides emissions
reductions under the TERP for reductions otherwise required under the rules of the
commission and the SIP. The proposed rules were published in the November 23,
2001 issue of the Texas Register (26 TexReg 9519). (Beecher Cameron, Alan
Henderson) (Rule Log No. 2001-025d-117-AI)
